MY BEEPER

I've been beeping at Joshua for over a year now and we have this bond that I should explain. Today is December 11, 2010, my ALS status is better said on what I can do. I can still click the mouse,[left hand only] scratch a little bit and smile. I can't turn my power chair on but I can still drive and control it mostly except my beep button is too hard to reach. [mostly] I would use that beeper if I needed help with anything at first. Then I started beeping at the kids when mom left the room for a minute. My beeper was used religiously so much that little Joshua would stop what he was doing and behave. So today as Joshua, who is so smart you can just brag, was planning on pulling the baby wipes out one by one he got beeped. I stretched my arm just right and beeped at him. He immediately looked at me with his baby blues and stopped with destroying the baby wipes.
Last night we were at our ward Christmas party. There was Brian, me, Tarra, Kelsy and Joshua. Brian got the honor to hold and keep Joshua happy while Tarra and Kelsy got food. Brian let Joshua push my buttons, on my chair. When Brian showed him the beeper button he didn't want anything to do with it. He would push the on, off button or any other of the 16 buttons but not the beeper. That just means this smart sweet little boy, who is not even two years old yet, did not forget my beeper.
I would be done now but Joshua just bit his sister. ohh dear!
